Language Development Checklist for 9 to 24 Month Olds
TheMentorMom by TheMentorMom Young Parent(August 2006) (rank 2nd)

I've noticed lots of questions posted regarding with questions regarding language development.  Here is a link that has a great printable checklist with language milestones for children ages 9 months to 24 months:  http://firstwords.fsu.edu/pdf/babytalk.pdf

If after looking at this checklist you still have concerns regarding your childs

language development, I suggest printing it out and sharing the information with your pediatrition.  In addition, the Federal Government in the United States requires that each state have an early intervention program for children ages birth to three with possible delays.  These programs should offer evaluation and in-home services for children and their families.  They are often affiliated with local school districts.

Hope this information is helpful!

Check list...
Just checked the check list.. I was beginning to think maybe Francis was a little slow.. But nope he's doing just fine... :)

Although I am wondering if this is true though.. (I will look it up but if anyone has an answer now that would be cool)
My son is learning two languages at the same time (French and English)... I have been told because he is learning two at the same time he might be a little slower in learning to speak?  Does anyone know of this?

Check list...
That is a possibility, Jess.  I work with a lot of families who have bi-lingual homes.  The research suggests that to avoid confusion, one parent speak one language only (e.g., English) while the other speaks the other language (French in your case).  This allows the child to hear each language in full context.   It gets confusing for them to hear bits and pieces and often takes them longer to develop a clear understanding.  Hope this helps :)
